[NEWS] 130128 JYJ Kim Jae Joong’s Solo Mini Album Appears on Japan’s Oricon Chart (What does this hold?)

On the 28th, according to Oricon – Japan’s most acclaimed album sales charts – Kim Jae Joong’s first mini album “I” released in Japan, ranks 15th place, from the period of Jan 14th to 20th. Only released on the 18th in Japan, Kim Jae Joong’s album has sold 7,331 in a mere two days.

Placing aside the topic of sales ranking, managing to enter Oricon chart is very significant in itself.

And yet after the 18th – JYJ and Avex’s long drawn out lawsuit has come to a conclusion, [Jaejoong's album] has managed to enter Oricon at long last.

At the same time, the album released in Japan with no marketing campaign, and the album itself is in Korean imported into Japan, reaching almost 10,000 in two days proves that even over the media blackout of three years, [he] has still retained the love of many fans.

Even though Kim Jae Joong’s first solo album is a mini-album, it has accumulated sales in Korea’s Hanteo charts over 67,000 copies. In addition, he has also reached number 1 in iTunes Rock charts for 9 overseas countries, and has sold out the hard copies in major Japanese music stores, thus sweeping across overseas market like a whirlwind.

In other news, Kim Jae Joong held ‘Your, My and Mine’ concerts and fanmeetings on the 26th and 27th of January, at Ilsan KINTEX, coming to a close with the cheers of almost 16,000 fans. It is reported that he will begin his 2013 world* [Asia] tour starting in February.
